It seems everybody is heading in the right direction concerning survival but umm... how to put this lightly...
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ALL GONNA DO WHEN YOUR AMMUNITION RUNS OUT??!!?
Melee weapons are supreme here as you don't have ammo. What are you gonna do with the rifle you have when no ammunition is around, smash them in the face with it? I'm sorry to tell you but that won't work.
Here is what I would do in a situation like this. Now remember, always assume nobody is out there looking for you. Having guns is good as it will kill them off at a distance, but you would need some back up weapons once supplies run out for the guns. I would use my ancient weapons collection to protect myself. a couple swords on my left hip, daggers on my chest, longbow with a quiver of arrows on my back and my Scythe in my hands.
Best case scenario: I would barricade myself in a Cabella's (outdoor store full of hunting, fishing and other supplies.) I would then take stock of the situation and make an inventory list so I know what I have and what I don't have. Sitting it out isn't the best option in any scenario as you will run out of something essential. I would put together something that I can use to take everything I need and leave before the crowd of zombies outside exceed more than 50. I would find a vehicle and drive to a remote place and basically live the rest of my life in complete solitude.
Worst case scenario: I would go out, after I strapped a powerful bomb on me, and kill as many as possible, and before I die, I blow my body and what ever else around me to kingdom come.
If I had full access to a complete garage, weapons store, and other stuff like gas. Then I will take a vehicle and go out Twisted Metal style. Hopefully the vehicle I can use is an ice cream truck.
Some key points to remember:
1: Stay the hell away from zombies as much as possible.
2: Don't bother looking for survivors, chances are they are already dead once you find them, surrounded by a horde of zombies, or those crazy people like the small group with the dogs in Resident Evil: Extinction.
3: The most important tool is your mind, think things through before doing them.
4: Don't bother making a plan on how to kill off every zombie in your area as chances are... your plan will just burn up.
5: Don't completely rely on guns, because of the ammo issue and the possibility of it jamming. This isn't Resident Evil 4, your Typewriter Machine gun doesn't have infinite bullets and you don't look cool popping zombies in a gangster costume. Only Leon can pull that off.
6: If you have a group helping you, don't turn on them. They will feed you to the zombies.
Any more questions?

How will you use your sniper rifle once all your ammunition is gone? You better hope you have more rounds than there are zombie heads and you are a talented marksman.

High tale it to Egypt, or another such area of intense heat. In all likely hood, the Zombie outbreak is caused by a virus, and the heat of a desert would kill any zombies off. Once the zombies are dead, the virus would have nothing to eat, and die.
You would then use the time you now had to attempt to find a cure for the virus, which would essentially mean the death of the person(s).
And the lack of moisture, and water, would definitely prevent any from coming anywhere near you, assuming you're away from the river. They're still just as reliant on it as humans. You'd just need to make a few trips back and forth for water now and then.
But you wouldn't want to trust the water, as the Nile could be infected. You would want to dig a well to a water supply underground, assuming there is one.
Or just a water purifier, but that might not account for viral agents, depending on the technology, and would require power. Meh. Although, the desert would be perfect for solar power. The glare reflecting off of a solar panel could catch the eye of a travelling zombie, though.
Are we assuming this would only affect humans? What about birds? x.X
Edit~
I would like to mention at this point that this reminds me of one of my favorite Doctor Who episodes, The Waters of Mars. Look it up
Who watched this movie? Lot's of ketchup in there.
Me and some friends watched the original. From what I heard other people say the original french/spanish/whatever movie pwns the remake. As always with movies like this, they give away the best stuff in the trailers. How the hell are people (me) supposed to get scared when we(I) know what's going to happen? *sigh*
Either you've responded to my sarcasm with sarcasm and I'm not picking up on it, or you totally missed my sarcasm.
Anywho, I borderline despise people who say they know a lot about Zombies and/or they will thrive in a zombie apocalypse due to playing the fuck out of games like Resident evil, or because they bought some Zombie Survival book. It really burns me when people are all "I'M A FUCKING EXPERT ON ZOMBIES!!!1ONE11ELEVEN!!"
Seriously, how can you be an expert on a topic that does not exist in real life, and that you have had no real life experience with, and the simulated experience you've had with it may not be accurate, since the shit isn't based on real life events/subjects/whatever. You can't give fucking examples of what to do when you have had no real life experience on the shit. IT MAKES ME SO MAD!!!
/rage
.... Though, I don't care about speculation on the subject, just sayin', when people act like experts on Zombies I want to rip their throats out.

Well to start off, we should have a general agreement on what a zombie is exactly. Based on what I see the zombie as, I've thought for a long time about how I would proceed in a zombie apocalypse. But yes, obviously to some point it's useless because they don't really exist (shut up!) and everyone disagrees on zombie lore.
All you really need is a virus that increases metabolism (increase in hunger and cellular decay) and lowers inhibitions (makes you more likely to grab a bite of Dave instead of waiting for a burger to show up).

Did I mention that I love cookies?

Edit: Either that or die and be a zombie. Lol.
